Electrical

Why is my electrical outlet not working?

Dead outlet? Here's a quick checklist to diagnose it in 2 minutes — most have simple causes you can solve yourself.

Most common causes

  • 01Tripped GFCI outlet on the same circuit
  • 02Tripped circuit breaker
  • 03Loose wire connection behind the outlet
  • 04Outlet has worn out internally

What to do right now

1
Check your panel for a tripped breaker on the circuit
2
Find the GFCI outlet on the same circuit (often in bathroom, kitchen, or garage) and press the 'Reset' button — one GFCI can protect multiple outlets downstream
3
If the outlet has scorch marks, stop using it immediately and do not reset

When to call a professional

Call if: the outlet trips GFCI immediately on reset, is warm or discolored, shows scorch marks, or you find the breaker is fine but the outlet still doesn't work.
